We have just spent 3 nights at the hotel with our dog and have had the most wonderful stay. Terri, our hostess, could not have been more friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The boutique hotel is beautiful with such attention to detail inside. We had a superior king size room which was gorgeous with the most comfortable bed ever. Breakfast was served in the beautiful cosy dining room and so much thought and attention had gone into every detail from the delicious fruit platter to the presentation of preserves and choice of breakfasts. Spotlessly clean and very well maintained, lots of personal touches in the room and bathroom. 10 out of 10 for every aspect of this wonderful, friendly hotel and we will definitely stay again.A very big thank you to the lovely, hardworking Terri x

I stayed here for one night on a business trip. The room was lovely and very much to my taste with oldy world furniture and obviously done with loads of thought .

Breakfast was lovely and cooked to order.

My only issue was that the sheet on the bed was soooooo bobbly and had holes in it. When I looked at it in the morning it wasn't that clean either. It wasn't very comfortable.

Many thanks for taking the time to share your comments. We are so pleased you liked the décor of your room and that you very much enjoyed breakfast. As you observed, we do indeed put a lot of thought and energy into what we offer here. You can surely imagine then that this makes it all the more disappointing for us that the great attention to detail we are so often complimented on was evidently lacking when it came to making the bed in your room (for which I, Terri, am responsible). I’m even more sorry that it affected the quality of your sleep. I can assure you that contrary to how it may have appeared to you, the sheet was clean. Upon checking after reading your review, I didn’t find any bobbles to speak of and wonder if the fact it’s a jersey cotton/flannelette sheet might explain the difference of texture and whiteness you noticed. I did find, however, the two small holes on the side as well as a small stain and feel very embarrassed that I didn’t notice them when making up the bed. One of the main reasons we do our own laundry and make up the beds ourselves is that it better enables us to notice any staining, wear and tear, etc. One of Bernard’s mottos is ‘You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression’, and we strive to always give 100% - especially when it comes to attention to detail. The day I made up the room for you was obviously not a 100% day. Should you find yourself travelling to Torquay again, we very much hope that you’ll give a second chance to make a better impression. Kind regards, Terri & Bernard

We stayed in the superior suite and had a superb stay in this hotel. Terri is very personable and considerate. As well as making a mean breakfast, Terri has an amazing eye for detail and puts every effort into making your stay a pleasant one. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Stayed here for 2 nights. The owners were more formal than I expected but still friendly. It is a very well run B&B.The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. There was a nice choice of breakfast which we enjoyed, I would have liked a radio or music in the breakfast room to make it feel more relaxed.There was quite a bit of noise from the late dwellers at the local nightclub, we were both woken by this so the 2nd night we shut the window and so slept fine.All in all it was a nice place and the staff were friendly the waitress on the Sunday morning was a breath of fresh air.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Torquay then look no further. Everything that the owners state on their own website is a true reflection of what you will find at Ascot House. As long as you are happy to have a 10 min stroll into the town centre then Ascot House Hotel is the perfect place to stay for many reasons. It’s great being just that short distance out of the town as it’s quiet & peaceful at night.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay and we were thrilled with what we’d found as a result of trawling through tripadvisor .

We booked the Luxury Suite, and it lived up to its name. The 3 room suite had been furnished to a high standard and in keeping with the building. The bedroom was home to the biggest, most comfy bed that provided us with the best 5 night’s sleep we’d had in ages. It was also great having the separate lounge as we did have a few days rain, so we were able to watch the DVD’s we had taken with us. The bathroom was enormous with both shower and roll top bath. There are two sets of French doors from this suite, one from the bedroom and the other from the lounge – both lead out onto the balcony that stretches along the front of the hotel.

Terri & Bernard the hosts were very warm and welcoming and in our opinion run a very sleek operation from beginning to end. Breakfast was lovely, everything you could ask for and more. The cooked breakfasts are cooked to order – hot and very tasty !!

Our suite was tided and cleaned each day to a high standard, with tea/coffee facilities replenished ( oh and the fresh jug of milk which always helps to make your tea taste like home !)

We would most definitely return to Ascot House should we visit Torquay in the future. Many thanks for making it such a relaxing break.
